Manchester United's recent comeback against Lyon in the Europa League quarter-finals drew comparisons to their 1999 Champions League victory. United, despite a poor season in the Premier League, found motivation in this dramatic win, turning a potential defeat into triumph with three late goals in extra time. Manager Ruben Amorim, inspired by the club's history, emphasized the importance of believing in success until the final whistle, illustrating the team's determination to secure a European trophy and potentially qualify for next season's Champions League.
It was a great night - 4-2 with one more player you think it's over, but here it is never over. I felt here everything is possible.
United scored three goals in the final six minutes of extra time to seal a 7-6 aggregate win.
Despite the disappointing season, they are just three games away from a European trophy and with it direct access to the Champions League next season.
Even though Lyon had Tolisso sent off in the final minute of normal time, Rayan Cherki put the French side ahead before the late United fightback.
